Purple Polar Bear

Fourteen-year-old female polar bear, named 'Pelusa' stands in her cage in the Mendoza Zoo, 1100 kilometers northwest of Buenos Aires, July 18, 2003. Normally white, Pelusa turned violet after veterinarians administered a medicine to treat her for a skin condition. Her veterinarians said her coat should turn normal again within a month.

Upon closer examination, I note that the bars in front of the bear have a suspiciously violet hue. Not only PhotoShopped, but badly PhotoShopped.

I wouldn't want to claim credit, either.

There are several more shots of her in the "Related Slideshow" off the Reuters page, so someone has gone to some trouble if it is fake.

She does look great though, better than poo stained off white that captive bears normally are.
